The Republic of Valutatia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 7.726 billion Valutatians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Administration, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Valutatian economy, worth a remarkable 3,469 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 449,024 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,035,192 per year while the poor average 6,288, a ratio of 641 to 1.
Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Valutatian Moonshine", political shows are fit for purpose, and politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Valutatia's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
